The symptoms and effects are roughly the same clinically, I believe, just magnified. Not to say that anyone with a diagnosis of straight PTSD doesn't or isn't suffering greatly, but with C-PTSD it seems like there is more of an alteration in emotional dysregulation, views of the self, changes in ways one views the perpetrator of the abuse.
